Description
Fort George Brewery + Public House sits on the original settlement site of Fort Astoria, founded in 1811. The oldest US settlement west of the Rockies, Fort Astoria was the Pacific Fur Company's primary trading post in the Northwest. Fort George opened its doors to Astoria as both a brewery and a public house, and that desire to serve the community continues to this day. The brewers and pub staff here share a common goal, to create a welcoming space where anyone in town can pull up a stool and enjoy a pint and a bite to eat. We take pride in our house-made offerings and our hospitality, and we’re always looking for improvements that bring us one step closer to perfection. It’s a goal Sisyphus could appreciate, even if he doesn’t have as much fun pushing that rock as we do rolling those kegs. And that’s why we like to call Fort George beer the best beer you’ve had today. Tomorrow it will only be better.

Draft at the brewpub. I was told it was an American Strong, not a BW as it is presently listed. A hazy amber beer wtih a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of citrusy and other fruits, one of which is peach. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit among them peaches, as well as a light touch of alcohol, leading to a grapefruity hoppy finish.

Draft at Hood River Hops Fest 2007. An unclear amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of hay and fresh grass, and so is the flavor, leading to a dry bitter finish where notes of grass and grapefruit lingers.

Draft at the brewpub. Sort of roasted rye aroma. Brownish mahogany color tones with a lacing white head. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Starts roasted sweet with underlying hop. Seems a little wheaty. Heat is present, but it does not interfere with the flavors. Finish is sweet, somewhat balanced with bitter. A tasty sipper.

Draft at the brewpub. Toasted malt aroma. Blackish color with a tannish head. The body is medium; the carbonation is mild. The flavor is toasted malt with a tart character. Some coffee. Finishes not quite dry. Seems a bit different from the common stout herd. There is a touch of chocolate. Alcolhol was not bothersome.
